PDFs allow for standalone PDF files to be added to a collection. End users can view and download PDF files much the same way that they would a book.

To create PDF content, navigate to the PDF section under Content Publishing in the left-hand navigation menu, then click on “+ Create PDF” button at the top right. In the resulting popup menu, name your PDF content, then choose “PDF” in the Type dropdown menu. This will bring you to the Details section of your PDF and allow you to start building your content.

Note: This tutorial specifically refers to the Builder section of the Publishing Wizard. Detailed instructions on Details, Categories, Collection, and Publish tabs of the Publishing Wizard can be found here.

To select a PDF or upload a new PDF for publishing, click on the Builder section of the Publishing Wizard near the top. First, label your PDF using the text-editor box provided. Then, scroll down to the “Connected Media Asset” section and click the “Select Media Asset” button. The resulting popup menu allows you to select an existing media asset or upload a new media asset.

Note: PLEASE use the search bar under the “Select existing Media Asset” section to search for your media asset before uploading a new one to prevent multiple copies of large media files.

To select an existing media asset, either scroll through the available media or use the search bar at the top right to find the desired media asset, click on the media asset (this will display a preview, the label, and some metadata), and click the “Link this asset” button at the bottom right.

To upload a new media asset, click the “Upload new Media Asset” tab at the top right of the popup menu. First, label the PDF (this will be the name of the PDF in your media assets database). Then, either drag and drop the media file into the popup window or click on the “Click or Drop file” button near the top left and select the desired file from your computer. Once the file has successfully loaded, click the “(tick) Upload” button at the bottom right.
